We all learn from each other – our working world is broader and richer by seeking diverse and alternative perspectives. We encourage CIPD members to support others and ask for help themselves; sometimes just getting a second opinion is reassuring and of value.

The CIPD Community is an online forum which supports CIPD members to connect with peers to solve workplace problems quickly and collaboratively. For almost two decades it’s been a popular place to share knowledge and network. 

I am standalone and the ability to connect to everyone on this forum (with particular reference and honourable mention to Ray!) has been an absolute godsend for me and worth the membership fee. Has saved my bacon (and my sanity) on more than one occasion.

The CIPD Community app - new look
and features

Updated in April 2024 to provide you with a better user experience, our CIPD Community mobile app allows you to catch up on the latest discussions and learn, debate and connect on the go.

The app is free and easy to use and provides a secure environment to connect with like-minded HR and L&D professionals quickly and easily, 24/7 straight from your mobile device.

The updated version allows you to access blog posts through the app, and to message privately, so you can connect with other members and share ideas 1-2-1.
